Event
Wildflowers Not Weeds IN PERSON - FULL
Californias wet winters bring us the promise of wildflowers. They are beautiful, provide habitat
for pollinators, produce nutritious seed, pollen and leaves and are essential elements in a
healthy ecosystem.
Wildflowers were once abundant throughout our state. Their populations have been drastically
reduced due to development, invasive species and more recently, extreme fires and prolonged
Drought.
Come learn how to grow your own mini meadow of wildflowers. Wildflowers struggle to
compete with weeds so well also be discussing weed management. We will learn how to
identify many of the common weeds that have invaded urban landscapes. Weed eradication
and site preparation is important in starting any garden. There will be a sheet mulching
demonstration and participants are encouraged to bring in samples of their weeds.
Finally, we will learn about some of our most local wildflowers, show you how to start some in
pots and well transplant seedlings for participants to take home.
Attendance is limited so reserve your space soon
